Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball delayed "indefinitely," say sources.

We've got some bad news for GameCube owners looking forward to Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball. The title, moved and pushed around the release calendar all year, has been "indefinitely delayed," according to sources close to the project. What this means officially is that the game no longer has a firm release date. Best-case scenario, this suggests that the title will not be debuting on Nintendo's console any time soon. Worst-case scenario, the project may never see the light of day.

Judging by the history of the videogame industry, indefinitely delayed titles have a bad habit of turning into vaporware. Of course, there's no proof that this fate will become Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball, but after a series of pushes, missing the baseball season, and a lukewarm response from press, the title's future does not appear to be shiny and happy at the moment.

Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball features the full MLB license for real baseball players, teams and stadiums. The title boasts a combination of arcade-fast play mechanics and simulation statistic tracking. It also features a unique speed play mode that enables gamers to control pitching and hitting, but not fielding, a style designed to quicken the experience.

There is no longer an official release date for Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball.
